The day left for V to select is Monday.

We can determine the schedule from Sunday to Saturday by placing each person based on the given clues:

Thursday

S

The only remaining available day between Q and P.

Friday

R

Immediately before P (Saturday).

Saturday

P

Given directly in the question.

  1. Direct Placements:

    • T selects Sunday.

    • Q selects Wednesday.

    • P selects Saturday.

  2. Immediate Days:

    • R chooses the day immediately before P, which means R selects Friday.

    • U chooses the day immediately before Q, which means U selects Tuesday.

  3. Between Selections:

    • S chooses an available day between Q (Wednesday) and P (Saturday). The remaining open days in that range are Thursday and Friday. Since Friday is already taken by R, S must select Thursday.

  4. Conclusion:

    • Looking at the entire week, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are all occupied.

    • Therefore, Monday is the only day left for V to select.

V is left with Monday.
